- avip 7y agoI’m all for charging fees (especially when the chargee is not me), but fees don’t put CO2 back in the ground.
- isostatic 7y agoThe point is they act as a deterrent. The money raised can be used to mitigate the effects of the emissions.
- benatkin 7y agoThat would be great. I think if they were being aggressive enough, there would probably be less demand for airport expansion, because there would be fewer flights. I don't currently see any way to curtail the carbon from the airline industry that wouldn't involve raising the price so drastically that people would fly less often.
